Few figures in Hollywood can match Clint Eastwood's towering legacy as an actor and director with nearly 70 years in the industry. From his 1955 debut in Revenge of the Creature to 73 different acting roles and 45 directorial efforts, Eastwood transformed from Sergio Leone's stoic Western hero to the iconic Dirty Harry before emerging as one of cinema's most accomplished filmmakers. His instantly recognizable delivery of lines like "Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" helped cement his status as a cultural icon. But his versatility allowed him to inhabit roles across every conceivable genre.
Behind the camera, Eastwood developed a distinctive minimalist style marked by patient film noir-inspired cinematography and understated dramatic tension. This approach, favoring action over dialogue and subtle character development over exposition, has earned him numerous accolades, including Academy Awards for Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and Oscars nominations for Mystic River, Letters from Iwo Jima, and American Sniper.

Then he would be known as Dick Rich. Nice! The film struggled at the box office only pulling in $38 million against a production budget of $40 million, but it was a huge hit with VHS rentals, pulling in an additional $125 million. Wow! Apparently, nobody wanted to be caught watching it at their local theater but they didn't mind seeing it at home. Guilty pleasure! Below, are some miniatures that were created for two major sequences: the climactic battle on Mount Richmore and the attempted assasination of Richie Rich's father Richard...
